February Totals

Feb 282.1 km

Year to date 588.1 km.

I lied...

My skiing partner backed out so an hour after consuming a box of KD and before the hockey game started I jumped on the treadmill for a 10K run at a 6:00 pace.

Final Feb Run

Took it outdoors today for the final Feb Run, 17K done at a 5:29 pace. It was just at the freezing mark , cloudy with a breeze from the NW. Headed north on the 2nd into the wind for 7K then turned east down the Glenelg Holland Townline returning South on the baseline. Some decent hills in the route ... really pretty and almost no traffic. Haven't got the long one in this weekend. Too too busy , yesterday it was swimming for 45 minutes then a couple of hours of snow removal. Today after the Canada US Olympic Hockey game I am going Alpine Skiing for a few hours.

Longer run this eve

Took it indoors at home for a 21.5K run this evening. It was a little on the hot side by the wood stove so i slowed the pace down in order to be able to continue. I was wanting to go a bit longer but it wasn't in the cards. I will have lots of running opportunities in the next week working evenings. May not get a long LSD in this weekend but I think I can manage a couple of more 2 hour runs.

Calf is better

Right calf is much better , only a little pain. 5K done at a 4:50 pace at lunch today.

Lunch Run

Didn't run yesterday , right calf was pretty sore and I was having a hard time walking. Its a whole lot better today so I did a 5K at lunch. I am not too worried about the pain , its just a muscle thing ... definitely not up to running 13K at a 4:34 pace. Guess I need to add a bit more speed work.

2nd run on tired legs

Had to take advantage of the tired legs this eve , 9K done at an avg 5:30 pace.
